See these links for making USB boot drives

And about usb-creator-gtk in Saucy: it is buggy, but this way I succeed
to make *persistent live* drives with usb-creator-gtk in Lubuntu Saucy.

Let it wipe whatever is on the USB pendrive and then create a partition
and file system: Click on 'Erase disk'!

Alternatives are to install Kubuntu's version usb-creator-kde or
Unetbootin (as well as resorting to the version 12.04 LTS).

Best regards
Nio
